Simple yet filling breakfast. Very interesting villa, and is really quite something out of the ordinary. Still under construction but not very noticeable. Arranged pick-up from Nampula. Value for money.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

“The hotel was not prepared for so many guests, even our bedding wasn't fully dry.”

Room was not ready for us, full of flies, when we got in to the room we had to ask for bedding, for soap, for towels even toilet paper, the bins were full of rubbish and the dust was everywhere. Seems like the hotel is not ready for the amount of guest they are taking in. Even the breakfast felt like not enough for all the guests.

“Not good experience, could not sleep due to street noise and late evening cafe noise”

• Leisure trip

The family room (self-catering apartment for 2 adults 2 children) is very noisy! Located on the street side and right above the cafe - unsuitable for stay with young kids.

Good location, lovely pool.

“Value for money in a unique environment.”

Slow checkout, demanded cash payment but was then persuaded to accept card payment. Did not have any change when wanting to buy some drinks after checkout. The bike we borrowed (for free which is great) lost its' paddle and had probably done that a few times already. To enhance the service I would recommend to give guests a map with sights to visit (not only the ordinary sights), boutiques, restaurants etc. Perhaps also link up with a tour guide around town.

Manger's attitude could be more plesent. During low season the pool was not clean and the island and the hotel had trouble with electricity. They shouldnt advertise bike rental since both bikes needed repair.

Good location with decent breakfast with good coffee. Very accommodating for reservation change upon arrival. Staff members are very nice and helpful.

-The mattress are a cheap foam and very uncomfortable
-Some staff training required on the reception desk. It would have been nice to get some local tips and advise. We had to rely on elsewhere

This place has lots of potential, and remains one of the better value hotels on the island. Rooms are nice, there is cable TV, a nice pool and good WiFi throughout including in the rooms. However, given my limited Portuguese, it was difficult to communicate with some staff members at times.

Wifi connection was poor if present at all. Luckily we had our own hotspot.

Reception staff were very nice. Breakfast was poor as was service. Great location. AC worked well. The room would be so much better with small investment.
